No. There is no need to put something like this in the *manual*. It
simply doesn't belong there. And saying gcc is the only compiler to
use is wrong as well. Any compiler which has the renaming capability
can be used. I don't know which compilers this are and don't really
care. *If* anything like this is documented anywhere its place is in
the FAQ and not in some document which even gets printed.
